If you’re curious about how to snag those downloadable games, the official Nintendo website has all the information you need. Plus, don’t forget to explore all the fantastic content available on our Nintendo eShop website.
When you’re ready, pop by the Nintendo eShop or check out individual game pages to see the latest prices. And here’s a little tip—if you want to download demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need to have a Nintendo Account. Keep in mind that some terms and conditions apply.
In order to purchase downloadable games or snag those demos and free software from the eShop via the official website, make sure your Nintendo Account is linked to your Nintendo Switch console. Just once, register your console as the active download device by hopping onto Nintendo eShop from the device you want to use. Don’t forget that for automatic downloads, your system should be up-to-date, online, and have automatic downloads turned on, with ample storage space ready to go.
